Song City is the closest city to the Netherworld King Temple.

It may not compare to international metropolises in luxury, and even in Huaxia, it is only a third-tier city. Yet this small city is famous in Europe.

The reason lies in the countless legends of the Blood Clan born here in Song City.

When Xiao Zheng arrived in Song City, it was raining.

The rain wasn’t heavy enough to soak Lin Cheng even without an umbrella.

The slightly cool raindrops on the face felt quite pleasant, complementing the mountains outside the city and the cold-toned buildings all around, which lent the city a unique charm.

However, Xiao Zheng wasn’t there for sightseeing.

Upon arriving in Song City, he immediately left the town, preparing to head to the Netherworld King Temple a hundred miles away.

This distance wasn’t far for Xiao Zheng at this point.

Even on foot, it would take little more than ten minutes.

Xiao Zheng chose the Netherworld King Temple as the first stop of his trip to Europe mainly because he couldn’t pinpoint Morren’s exact location. Despite Catherine’s ongoing investigations, they had found nothing.

Since Morren returned to Europe, aside from smearing Xiao Zheng once, he hadn’t been seen again.

It was as if he vanished into thin air, disappearing from the world.

Thus, apart from the Netherworld King Temple, Xiao Zheng didn’t know where else he might find Morren. Furthermore, according to Catherine, the last known battle between Hades and Morren happened near the Netherworld King Temple.

He had a lingering suspicion that Hades might be imprisoned inside the Netherworld King Temple.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Zheng finally caught sight of the Netherworld King Temple’s silhouette.

He didn’t bother to hide his presence, storming into the temple with an unstoppable and fierce demeanor. Once his aura appeared in the temple, the attendants inside were so terrified they kneeled on the ground.

To Xiao Zheng’s disappointment, he didn’t find Morren there. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Yet he keenly noticed that the Netherworld King Temple had undergone significant changes since his last visit. Several familiar faces were absent.

"E-evil God."

Someone finally recognized Xiao Zheng, their expression becoming somewhat agitated.

Xiao Zheng glanced at her and acknowledged her.

The last time Xiao Zheng faced off against Hades in the Martial Arts Arena, she had been serving at the side.

"Where are the nine priests? Why haven’t they shown up this time?"

Xiao Zheng asked.

Upon hearing this, the attendant’s face turned grim, and she responded, "The nine esteemed have all died, their bodies buried behind the temple."

Her words didn’t surprise Xiao Zheng much, but they did sadden him.

From the moment he barged into the temple without any obstacles, he had already anticipated the fate of the nine priests. Coupled with the uncertainty of Hades’s condition, his heart was filled with concern.

Seeing Xiao Zheng silent, the attendant bit her lip and then, with tearful eyes, vehemently pleaded, "Evil God, please avenge Lord Netherworld!"

Her words stirred Xiao Zheng inwardly, prompting him to urgently ask, "Do you know Morren’s whereabouts? Or where Hades might be imprisoned?"

His series of questions puzzled the attendant.

Upon recovering her senses, she couldn’t help but ask in astonishment, "Evil God, did you say Lord Netherworld is still alive? Isn’t she dead?"

"She is indeed alive; Morren told me this personally." Xiao Zheng replied firmly, "But she is in grave danger now. If you know any clues, tell me immediately."

Her eyes suddenly became resolute as she said, "Although I didn’t witness the battle between Lord Netherworld and Morren, I’ve heard about it afterward..."

"Wait, you mentioned Morren and others? Does Morren have companions?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.

The attendant nodded and said, "Morren indeed has two companions, and it’s said they are the third and fourth Netherworld Kings!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s body shook violently.

It was shocking enough that Morren had companions, but he hadn’t expected that these companions were so fearsome—being the third and fourth Netherworld Kings!

Thankfully, the attendant informed him of this; otherwise, Xiao Zheng would have suffered greatly later on!

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Zheng continued asking, "Do you know Morren’s current whereabouts, including his two accomplices? If you know, tell me now. I need to extract Hades’s location from them!"

The attendant’s face first showed difficulty, then she said, "I don’t know Morren’s specific whereabouts, nor does anyone else in the Netherworld King Temple."

"Since Morren returned from Kunlun, he has completely disappeared."

"But I believe there’s one place you can search."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng promptly asked, "Where?"

The attendant pointed to the divine throne on the high platform and said, "I accidentally saw Morren activate a mechanism that revealed a passage beneath the divine throne."

A mechanism? A passage?

Xiao Zheng immediately turned to look at the divine throne, a peculiar glint in his eyes. Then he activated his X-ray vision and indeed discovered a deep passage underneath the throne.

However, as he tried to probe further into the passage, an invisible force instantly blocked his view.

"There’s definitely something strange below!"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes stung, prompting him to shut down his X-ray vision.

Though his eyes still tingled slightly, his heart was filled with indescribable excitement.

"I know about this. You all should leave now."

"If anyone dares to expose this matter, I won’t spare them!"

Xiao Zheng’s gaze slowly swept over the attendants kneeling on the ground, his voice faintly tinged with killing intent.

He couldn’t be sure if any of them were secretly allied with Morren.

A chill rose in the attendants’ hearts as they hurriedly swore oaths before nervously retreating from the temple after Xiao Zheng nodded again.

Once everyone had departed, Xiao Zheng approached the divine throne.

After some probing, he finally discovered the mechanism.

The throne shifted, unveiling the hidden passage beneath!
